I bought this pen after I fell in love with the pictures posted here. It's a stunning looking pen and writes like a dream. The large, polished steel nib looks great and I have filled it with Visconti Blue, repeatedly.

 

I agree. I've been back to this thread to look at those pics (and on Lyle's site) 5-6 times. The colours are so attractive. Sorely tempted. Having experienced the work of one of the craftsmen here (Shawn), I'm seriously tempted to start off-loading some of my mass-produced pens to afford a couple more of these masterpieces!

Go for it! You won't be disappointed and I'm hooked. I doubt I'll ever buy another mass produced pen again (except for a Visconti)

The only Visconti I ever owned was up for sale again within a week of my buying it......

Oh that's a shame, I have 4 and love them all. The Gallatin feels a little like my Visconti Van Gogh Maxi to hold and the texture of the pens feel similar.

nuh. don't. the yellow gold color of the two-tone nib would not compliment the work you have done. the choice of using this single tone polished nib is the perfect one. this brings the eyes more to the body of the pen.

I totally agree. The gold would distract from the pen and the primary focus should not be the nib but the body of work.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
